But onto hypochondria.Long time ago- Daughter then aged 8 is puking (can you say puking here), loudly and longly. Son then aged 5, is disturbed by the scene, starts wailing that he is sick too, mom says what is wrong. Diabetes, I have diabetes.

Well, he has incorporated some sound concepts, like concussion=bad, concussion may be associated with headache, you can catch some badness via exposure. Unfortunately he has not incorporated them successfully, but A for effort. Nice tray, Craig.

It could have been worse. I'm on a couple of vent/snark groups for people with chronic illness/disability. Those of us with fibromyalgia & migraines have all been having skyrocking numbers of flares & migraines lately. I blame the internet. Obviously our connections on the internet are causing these flares. Which reminds me, I need to call my neurologist.

PS Does anyone know who invented the 'needleless' delivery system? They gave me some new migraine med at my pcp's office yesterday because I'd left my IV Imitrex injector at home. It hit a 10 for pain, bled like no tomorrow and kept hurting (although it went down to a 3-4) for about three hours. If anyone should see him/her/them, please give them a "Gibbs smack" for me. Thanks!
